U.S. Senate

Congress is in the process of writing America's next big transportation bill — and more than 100 organizations are demanding it deliver for transit.

The U.S. DOT secretary says he's drowning under a backlog of grants from the Biden administration — but somehow has time to scrutinize them all for a "woke" agenda.

The former reality star, congressman and Fox News host said "yes" to just about everything during his confirmation hearing — but wasn't asked the hard questions.

"Just as we know the top factors causing roadway deaths, we also have the solutions to stem the traffic safety crisis. The key now is leadership – to act on this knowledge and put proven, life-saving tools in place."

Drive US Forward's Maria Weston Kuhn on a bipartisan bill in Washington would require new cars undergo crash testing with dummies modeled after female bodies.

If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again to cut transit funding.

The Central Subway's latest funding troubles with Congress have brought some burning questions to the surface: How far will the SFMTA go to prop up the project, and what will the price be for Muni riders?

(Note: Much of this story comes from "Making Lawmakers Answer for Pedestrian Deaths in Their Districts" that appeared on Streetsblog Capitol Hill yesterday.)

The transportation bill conference committee negotiations have been difficult and contentious, by all accounts -- all except Senator Barbara Boxer's account. The EPW chair has been optimistic when others have been bitter, consistently focusing on how much the two sides agree rather than the places where they're still far apart.
